For almost the entire ten seasons Shameless has been on the air, female fans have been crushing on Jeremy Allen White, who portrays Philip “Lip” Gallagher.

After struggling with alcoholism, Lip now regularly attends AA meetings and works at a motorcycle shop. He also cared for a daughter that wasn’t his, and now, in Season 10, Lip has his own son to care for as his girlfriend is still in the hospital.

Watching the second-oldest Gallagher care for a child has fans wondering if he has a baby in real life and if he’s single.
